There are two universities in the Ontario, Canada, town of Waterloo – the University of Waterloo, from whence the Blackberry, and text searching and CCD toys and all sorts of things emerged – and the smaller, business-oriented uni across the street, Wilfrid Laurier, named after the dude on the Canadian $5 bill and former Prime Minister.

Two students and a staff member at Wilfrid Laurier University are recovering from E. coli poisoning after being treated in hospital, the region’s public health department has confirmed.

A fourth person, also a student at Laurier, was a “probable case” with symptoms, but no laboratory confirmation.

Dr. Hsiu-Li Wang, associate medical officer of health for Waterloo Region, said health officials inspected all food preparation areas thoroughly on campus and, “We found no evidence of any potentially unsafe food handling practices.”

But did they source food from safe sources? Especially the stuff that was going to be served fresh?
